Once upon a time we lived where our job was.
How true. I had to leave a wonderful area for my job, but after thirty one years here saw that wonderful area degenerate into a less than desirable place to live.
Since I retired fifteen years ago I decided to stay put and am happy here, less than a mile from my former place of employment.
It may be something said in the old movie FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE(1921), when the old man dies and his girls inherit his fortune, one says “your home is where you made your fortune.” They all moved to another country with devastating results.
